Stand Up!

This is “a stirring Gathering song” according to Michael Mangan – he’s right of course.

It is from Setting Hearts on Fire.

Since Michael has posted the lyrics on his website I will put them up here as well.

Stand Up!
Words & music: Michael Mangan

Oh stand up! and sing to God.
Oh stand up! and praise God’s name.
Come on stand up!
Stand up and sing praise to God.
Oh stand up!

1 Gathered together, gathered as one.
Called to be servants, everyone. Come to the family, to share and to pray. Come tell your story, come celebrate.

2 Mothers and fathers, daughters and sons.
From every nation, the old and the young. The rich & the poor, the weak & the strong
Lift up your voices, join in the song.

3 Come to find comfort, come to rejoice.
Bring all your sadness, bring all your joys. Come to seek answers, come to find peace.
Break down the walls, come set your heart free.
